Peco Fastener PC101 No. 10 X 1 in Hex Washer Screw Zinc 500

Product Description

The PECO FASTENER PC101 is a No. 10 sharp-point self-tapping screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in sheet metal, light steel, and similar materials without pre-drilling. The screw features a hex washer head with a slotted drive, accepting both a 1/4-inch hex driver and a standard flathead screwdriver for flexible installation. At 1 inch in length with a nominal shank diameter of 0.19 inches and a 1/4-inch head width across the flat, these screws are well-suited to the type of light-gauge metal fastening common in HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. Each carton contains 500 pieces, making it practical for jobsite stocking.

These screws are used across residential and light commercial trade work where quick-drive, self-piercing fasteners are required. HVAC technicians commonly use sharp-point tapping screws like the PC101 when assembling or securing duct sections, access panels, and sheet metal components. Electricians and general contractors also rely on this screw type for securing metal boxes, brackets, and light-gauge steel framing components. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/4-inch hex driver or a standard slotted screwdriver. Drive at controlled speed to avoid stripping the slotted recess or overdriving through thin material. These screws are intended for light-gauge metal substrates; use in wood or masonry is outside their designed application. Always verify the substrate gauge is appropriate for the screw diameter before driving.
